Student Body President Noah Riner '06 sent a strong Christian message this past Tuesday in a Convocation speech that represented the first encounter between many in the Class of 2009 and the College's values. While Eleazer Wheelock founded Dartmouth in 1769 to bring Christianity to Native Americans, Dartmouth has more recently eschewed this goal in favor of providing a balanced, secular and inclusive education to its students. Each successive class of freshmen has been welcomed into an environment where freedom of speech, expression and belief are valued parts of the educational process. While Riner has the same freedoms as all students, his speech gave the misleading impression that Dartmouth today is closer to Wheelock's vision than to its current ideals.
"We Know How to Party," proclaimed a banner hanging above the fireplace in Chi Heorot fraternity's great hall as members of the Class of 2009 entered Thursday evening to learn the ins and outs of the College's Greek party scene. Members of Heorot and Kappa Delta Epsilon sorority organized the event.

On Tuesday night the Dartmouth women's volleyball team showed what a difference a year can make. The ladies in green emerged victorious from a back-and-forth, five-game, 144-minute marathon against in-state rival UNH in Durham (30-28, 30-32, 30-27, 26-30, 15-13). The win helped to erase memories of a dismal 1-7 start to 2004 that was capped by a three-game loss to the same Wildcats of UNH.
It's amazing to me that over three months have passed since I last stepped foot in a classroom at Dartmouth. It's also hard to believe that it's been a year since I first walked into that gloomy lecture hall in Bradley for Math 11. These four (or five) years at Dartmouth will surely fly by. I doubt I'm the first person to mention that to the newly anointed Class of 2009.
It is a little namby-pamby to say that Convocation ought to be a welcoming experience for freshmen. The '09s have received those fat admissions letters, gone on their DOC trips, and moved into their dorms; Convocation is merely the formal welcome. They've been welcomed a lot. But it is a Dartmouth College formality, and it deserves to be treated as such. It should be a respectful celebration and a welcoming for the new students into the Dartmouth community as we kick off the new school year.
Despite the long lines that still reveal Wheelock Books' dominance over the Hanover textbook market, the new management at the Dartmouth Bookstore is trying to reestablish its reputation in the community and create a renewed competition between the two stores.
